# 101 “Behind the Mask” – Masking Techniques

Hello Ai fans !!Today is a fun challenge , masking open a whole new world to your stamps , you can turn a simple image into a complete scene. Today I am going to walk you thru how I made this card , first I chose Pearl sku # 1701 , she is bent over with her water can , so I created a garden for her to water. I love her bloomers , I stamped her mid way down the page in the centernext I stamped her on a pc of scrap and cut her out , this is now my mask , I add repositionable Elmer’s glue stick( this will hold mask in place and you can take off later )next I stamp flowers all around her(the flower stamp was a random stamp I had sitting on my desk any flower stamp will work )next I take off the mask to see what creation I have madenext I color my creation with my copic markersI chalked the sky blue and the grass green , I added glossy accents and stickles dry glitter to her dots on her bloomers , I added the sun and cloud die cuts , I added stickles to flower centersinside my card I put a flower she grew in her garden I think this card would make anyone chuckle , I love humor in a card …Thanks for stopping by , I hope you give this technique a try.
